Hi all,
In the presentation I'm putting together I think I have most of the
essentials covered, at least as well as I can in a short-ish time, but I
thought it would be wise to cover a few of the surprises that people
find. At present I have the following, but if anyone has any others

Hi guys,
Thanks; some good advice there, which also fits pretty well with my own
thoughts.
Most of my machines here are XUbuntu, two are AVLinux, which is a
